Video freezes on AVCHD rendered file in Popcorn Hour A110 media player
I have been a user of Vegas Pro for sometime now. With Vegas Pro 8.0 I was not able to even render to AVCHD format as any video beyond 15mts used to crash. I downloaded the trial version of Pro 9.0 and with this was successfully able to render a 45mts footage in AVCHD. However, once I played this file on my Popcorn hour A110 media player the video started freezing every other frame while audio worked perfectly. I tried using TxMuxer as suggested, but the output file from TXMuxer still had the same problem. However, I tried the following based on a suggestion given in this forum. I used Sony Picture motion browser to download the clips from my camera. Choose the clips I want and then select “create AVCHD disc” from menu, insert a DVD blank and then under Disc creation option choose” Create a disc that plays the Video smoothly and seemelessly”. Create the DVD. While that is finished you will have a M2TS file in the stream directly of the DVD. This file plays very smoothly on the Popcorn. This proves that popcorn is able to handle unedited M2Ts file and hence there is something wrong with the AVCHD format rendered by Pro. The above method has the following limitation. Firstly I cannot use it if the total length of all the clippings I need is more than 4.7Gb or 8.4 Gb if I use double sided DVD blank. Secondly I lose all the editing features of Vega Pro. Till today I have not been able to successfully generate a AVCHD file out of Vegas Pro that I have been able to play on my HD TV using Popcorn hour. I am currently rendering to a modified template using main concept mpg and choosing mpeg2 with 1080i resolution and stereo audio. This file plays well on Popcorn. But, this guzzles a lot of disc space, too much rendering time as vegas rerenders and I lose the 5.1 audio. Are there any other media players that can play Vegas rendered AVCHD files on HD TV?
I am desperatly looking for a solution. can any one help me? -

Could you please explain what you mean by the terms “15mts” and “45mts“? Are you referring to bitrate? Have you tried using the AVCHD template in Vegas Pro without changing it? This will give you 16Mbps AVCHD that should play smoothly.

Hi John,
Thanks for the response. 15mts and 45mts refers to the duration of the video in minutes. I have used the AVCHD template from pro without changing it. -

OK, then perhaps it can’t handle the 16Mbps. Try lowering the bitrate down to 9Mbps and see if that helps. The picture will still be very good.
